MARKET TREND FOR MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2014

Markets will now see a very important session as it has resisted to its 50-DMA levels at Close. We are likely to see a quiet to modestly positive opening and the levels of 8235, which is the 50-DMA for the Markets would be the critical levels to watch out for. It would be critically important for the Markets to open or move past this level in order to avoid any weakness from keeping in again. The intraday trajectory would also remain equally important.

The levels of 8235 and 8310 would act as immediate resistance for the Markets. The supports would come in at 8190 and 8150 levels.

The RSI—Relative Strength Index on the Daily Chart is 44.9466 and it is neutral as it shows no bullish or bearish divergence or any failure swing. The Daily MACD still continues to remain bearish trading below its signal line but has flattened out.

On the derivative front, the NIFTY December futures have shed over 22.45 lakh shares or 10.19% in Open Interest. The January futures have added over 27.22 lakh shares or 75.33% in Open Interest. The rollovers have been seen but at the same time, most of the pullback has come in form of short covering. It would be important for the Markets to see fresh buying and addition of OI for it to continue with its up move.

Going by pattern analysis, the Markets have resisted to its 50-DMA which is 8235. On its way down, the Markets had broken the support of its 50-DMA and therefore, this level of 50-DMA is now acting as its resistance on its way up. It would be important for the Markets to move past and end above the 50-DMA levels in order to avoid any weakness from creeping in again. Moving past 50-DMA would be important for the Markets to continue with its up move / pullback.

Overall, while continuing with policy of maintaining limited exposure in the Markets, some minor purchases in very selective manner can be made. Even if we see some minor range bound swings, they would remain rollovers dominated and therefore stock specific action and sectoral out performance would remain. While remaining highly selective and stock specific, positive caution is advised for the day.
